Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: While the importance of cultural and spiritual care proficiencies is well-validated in cancer supportive care and critical care settings, their relevance in urology remains to be substantiated. Gauging the spiritual care requisites of nurses within urology divisions may foster enhanced sentiments of hope, serenity, and fortitude among patients. Objectives: This study aimed to examine cultural and spiritual care proficiencies among nurses tending to urology patients and to ascertain the correlation between the personal and professional attributes of these nurses and their perspectives on cultural and spiritual care competencies. Methods: Thirty-five nurses affiliated with the urology department of Jiading District Central Hospital, Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences, China, were provided with a questionnaire encompassing the spiritual care competency scale and the cultural competence scale. All participating nurse practitioners were female, of Han Chinese ethnicity, adhered to Chinese culture, and were devoid of religious affiliations. Both instruments used a 6-point Likert scale (1: vehemently disagree, 2: disagree, 3: slightly disagree, 4: slightly agree, 5: agree, and 6: vehemently agree). Results: Participating nurses possessed education at or above the junior college level. Nurses aged 35 and older accounted for 26%, while 63% had a decade or fewer of experience in urological nursing in China. The preeminent value within the spiritual care competency scale pertained to spiritual perspectives (factor 2; 4.94 ± 0.32/nurse), succeeded by attributes for spiritual care (factor 1; 4.42 ± 0.19/nurse), defining spiritual care (factor 3; 4.33 ± 0.21/nurse), spiritual care attitudes (factor 4; 4.2 ± 0.28/nurse), spiritual care values (factor 5; 3.98 ± 0.21/nurse), and spiritual care personal values (factor 6; 3.89 ± 0.22/nurse). The clinical nursing cultural competence scale registered at 4.24 ± 0.79/nurse. No associations were evident between personal/professional traits and perceptions of cultural and spiritual care competencies ( Conclusion: Nurses functioning within the urology department exhibited an affirmative outlook toward cultural and spiritual care proficiencies. The personal and professional attributes of nurses in urology are generally uncorrelated with their perceptions of cultural and spiritual care competencies. Nurses in the urology department have a heavy workload and insufficient knowledge of spiritual care practices.
